Trouble in Paradise???


Every time Andy and I walk around this RV park, we are amazed of the vastness of it all. This park sits on 126-acres. Besides the three-hundred camp sites, this super center owns the Cracker Barrel Restaurant, Flying J Plaza, Camping World store, 273 RV-service-bays, is staffed by 270 employees, and represents 18 manufactures of RVs which on site they can house up to 1200 new and pre-owned coaches. Its clean, manicured lawns and flower beds, have courteous employees who pass and say "welcome" and every one of those employees are fed breakfast and lunch in the large Cafe with us. I am sure this place of employment has been voted One of the best places to work in the Tampa area and Florida's Newest Tourist Attraction.
Unfortunately, in today's hand delivered paper, "this company is scrambling to survive the recession". It lost $6.3 million during the last quarter, recently laid off employees, and missed an interest payment to its bondholders in November. All Andy can think about is if we will continue to get our breakfast and lunch during our stay here.
